I was born in İstanbul and still live here. I speak with a standard Istanbul Turkish. Now, I’ve been a full-time and qualified Turkish teacher since 2022. And I really love teaching, learning and working with students from all around the world.
But I’m originally a pharmacist. I managed my own pharmacy for more than 10 years and was a university lecturer for more than 5 years. Long story short, I have a medical, business and academic background.

Me as a Teacher
When it comes to my teaching style, I like to use an individual approach. Because I know that every student is different. We can work on grammar, pronunciation, common phrases, idiomatic expressions as well as speaking, listening, reading and writing. We can have well- structured lessons by using my original materials and you can learn systematically. Or we can have conversation-based spontaneous lessons tailored to your needs.
But you can be sure that you won’t be only memorising but will also understanding the unique logic of Turkish with me. In this way, you will be able to understand clearly and cominicate effectively.
My lessons & teaching style
And also, I have visited lots of cities and almost all of the tourist destinations in Turkey. So, we can talk about travel, Turkish food and Turkish culture as well.
So, whatever your level is I’m looking forward to working with you. If that sounds good to you, book a trial lesson with me. I will see you in class. Bye for now.

Hande is a wonderful teacher! She is always prepared with interesting and engaging material for our lessons. During our lessons, she is patient, takes time to explain grammar concepts, and answer any questions I have. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
